First Freebie!

Updated 7/20/2013

While the little guy is sleeping, I figured I'd post my first freebie. This is an association game that I created to go with a frog/pond theme. You can play it simply as a memory game. In my preschool classrooms, I tend to do one inclusion group per week. I typically do a story and extension activity with all of the children in the class. For the in-class lessons, I separate the frogs into two piles (with one member of each set in each pile). I hold on to one of the piles, and hand out the rest of the frogs to the students in the class. I then tell the students what object is on my card and ask who has the matching frog. You can use the activity to target sentence structure ("My frog is holding a ___"), providing explanations ("A fork and a spoon go together because you use them to eat"), and categorization (tools, sporting equipment, utensils, etc.). Hope you enjoy it!

I work as a school based speech-language pathologist in New Bedford, MA. I work primarily with students in preschool and kindergarten. I'm also the mom of a very sweet little boy who takes up much of my free time.
